Tiger Leaping Gorge
By SLINKYSI | 11/30/2007 4:03:14 AM
Along the well know trek there are a number of guest houses, as usual some are better than others. The worst one of the lot was Halfway House where the staff managed to be impolite at every opportunity. On arrival they asked for money before we'd decided to stay and didn't consider a please or thank you necessary. After ordering an evening meal we asked for a fire to be lit in the dining room had our head bitten off as if we'd committed a crime, the fire eventually appeared but only with enough fuel to last 30 mins. Not only that but the food was not up to scratch either their soups are in fact water with whatever you order added as opposed to the usual chinese broth.
To avoid this GH it's quite an easy 10 minute walk to the next one adn 30 mins to the next. Otherwise stay at Tea Horse GH which has good food and is really at the halfway point.
The gorge however is excellent and worth every ounce of sweat as you walk up and along. The mountain scenery is fantastic and is one place in China where you really hike on a mountain and not walk up steps.

Moon Inn
By WARRINA | 8/18/2007 11:30:10 PM
Can highly recommend the Moon Inn. It's in a quiet location, the rooms are very clean and, best of all, you are extremely well looked after. Very friendly staff, who can't do enough for you. Free laundry, afternoon tea, help with bookings, etc. Hope to visit again one day.

If you want stay in Higherland Inn, you must up to the Cang Mountain.But you need pay for the entrance fee to enter the sinery area.Anyway, if you like quiet guesthouse and nice view.I think it is worth to stay 1 or 2 nights on the mountain, a lot of thing to see.

Inexpensive hotel in Kunming
By WINDENERGY | 6/6/2007 3:06:54 AM
I got this tip from a fellow traveler on the bus ride to Lijiang. I prefer a private room with a bath instead of a dormitory usually. At the Camellia Hotel, I stayed 4 nights in a private room for 120 rmb/night. A cheaper alternative is the Yun Du Hotel (Chinese owned, 2 star) which is allowed to lodge foreign travelers. It is located near the long-distance bus station and train station on Beijing Lu. One night rooms are available for only 80 rmb/night.

Mama Naxi's in Lijiang
By WINDENERGY | 4/5/2007 6:50:47 AM
Mama Naxi'sguesthouse in Lijiang offers the traveler a very inexpensive bed,as well as serving both breakfast and dinner. A dormitory bed is only 15 rmb/night and dinner is just 10 rmb for all you can eat. I was also given assistance on places to see and were to buy a cheap return bus ticket to Kunming. You can call Mama Naxi if you are wandering lost in Lijiang @ 8881012.

Li Jiang - best traditional guesthouse!
By KATERINABALLERINA | 11/1/2005 4:39:49 AM
My friend and I have just spent three days in the most beautiful guesthouse and wanted to recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Li Jiang...
It is called Moon Inn and is right in the centre of the old town. Having opened only a couple of mnths ago everything is brand new, immaculately clean. Run by local Naxi Chinese family, it is as close to living with a family as you can get. About 10 double and twin rooms all with en suite bathroom (and Western toilet) The food is delicious and home-cooked and the service is second to none. On our first day we found a bowl of fruit and flowers in our room and breakfast far surpassed anything we had eaten over the past few weeks in hotels...
The owner's daughter is called Li and she speaks fluent English. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed and we often sat in the lovely, sunny coutyard to read or drink green tea - brought to us almost whenever we sat down by Li's father.
For anyone who's keen to get away from the tour groups and the impersonal service of hotels this is guaranteed make your trip to Li Jiang!
Telephone number: 0888 518 0520 or 0888 666 10 73
Address: Wuyi Road in the old town of Lijiang.
I'll try to attach a photo of the view from our bedroom window.
